Leadership Transition Announcement

October 13, 2025

Twelve years ago, our Founder, Craig Moore, set out to change how businesses in the GCC access finance. His belief was simple: that funding for SMEs should be faster, fairer, and more accessible.

That vision became

Under Craig’s leadership, what started as a pioneering fintech idea grew into a trusted platform that has funded over USD 1 billion and supported thousands of SMEs across the region. His drive and dedication built not just a business but a community of entrepreneurs, investors, and partners shaping the future of finance.

As Craig steps down as CEO, we celebrate his legacy and the incredible impact he’s made, both on Beehive and on the thousands of businesses his vision has helped grow.

We’re also proud to share that Peter Tavener, Co-founder and CFO / COO, will take on the role of CEO. Peter has been part of this journey from the very beginning, and his leadership will carry Beehive’s mission forward into its next decade of innovation and impact.

Today, as part of the e& family, Beehive continues to grow stronger than ever. Here’s to the next chapter, built on the same purpose that started it all.
